Fails "car wash" test miserably. Ask it:

I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?

Had same idea some time ago: https://imgur.com/a/11StYkd ;)

"OpenBSD does not want to attract GNU newbies." misc@

And that's IMHO is a good thing.

Finally I see some people around. Was pretty lonely, as it launched.

Glad to have played with it a bit before it got Slashdotted. ;)

It is no longer the same. It went from somewhat exclusive dining experience to full blown nuclear junk food chain vibe.

I've stopped attending it about 10 years ago. I rather prefer to watch some few interesting topics online, and skip all the wanna-be political junk.

Reminded me of GNU Terry Pratchett[1].

Also: Banana - Although not technically living, it does make for a good size comparison.

To be honest, all I see is https://xkcd.com/927/

All config formats are bad. You either don't need all the features at all, except key:value. Or you quickly run into weird limitations and quirks.

What I rather like instead, are custom build english-like DSL's, like:

- https://man.openbsd.org/pf.conf - https://man.openbsd.org/smtpd.conf - https://man.openbsd.org/httpd.conf - … and many more

I've never started. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And also not going to. I see enough crap, colleges produce, to never touch this pile of dung.

… since 1994

Read most of the comment, was hesitated. Then thought "it can't be that bad". Ok, it is that bad. I absolutely hate extra round corners and extra margin in the windows. Sigh.

I usually take it even a step further by skipping useless "hello".

Instead of "Hello, did you notice, that db is down? Can you check it please?"

Just terse "DB seems to be down. Please check it."

Hilarious, how an old joke from 2003 is still relevant today.

Please, please, please don't execute it. It will try to wipe you disk.

Little known, but there is already calendar(1) [1] in OpenBSD with much more sane format.

I once recorded an half-hour drive and uploaded it to YT as private video for my own convenience. Got immediately a copyright claim about radio playing some music in the background.

with zero ads the internet would be a smaller, darker place

Yes, please!

Once a while I turn off ad-blocker to remind myself how bad it got. And OMG! It is bad, Bad, BAD! Unusable. Sometimes is less more.

It did not digest https://github.com/torvalds/linux ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Let us play a recursive game. Will it loop?

Blah blah blah, fancy Latin gibberish. Look at me, I'm so intellectual! Just kidding, this is meaningless filler text. Move along, nothing to see here.

Meaningless filler. Keep walking.

Move it, chump.

Get lost, loser.

Bye, champ.

Later.

Bye.

Later.

Bye.

Funny, 174 by me too.

Anybody remembers Geek Code?

That's also, what's article is about.

This is one reason why hard-buttons are so effective in old-school cars. They all use these same standard icons so it’s easier for new users to scan across them and find the one you want without any training.

Well, I did it 11 years ago. There is little magic. Boot linux rescue system. Fire qemu. Go with auto-install. Even with raid setup if you want to. Done.

The only tweak -- auto-detection of swap space, as it is derived from RAM available and you cannot give all 100% RAM to qemu. So you need to adjust for it.

A simplest alias `dl='curl -O'` just does the same for me.

As for Go, the dataset looks very-very old and outdated. At least 5 to 10 years old.

Very Indian approach. Print a report, and call it a day. :D

Same here, just a natural anatomic relaxed hand/finger position in my case.
